Stuart moved to the Valley in the summer of 2011 and immediately started coming to training. His experience as Hull University goalkeeper and his commanding presence caught the eye and he finally made his debut in the 3-3 draw against Division 1 side Hope Salford. Decided to focus on table tennis after a persistent leg injury, but returned to mark his competitive debut at Warrington Ambassadors C in March 2012. He then occupied the number 1 jersey for 3 seasons before retiring after a hand injury and moving to Cheshire. Won the Director of Football's Player of the Season for 2015/16.
